Plush Hallucigenia, with many arms for many cuddles! The long 'neck', if you can call it a neck, and small head, is reminiscent of a sauropod dinosaur.
We'll review the Plushtodon Mastodon mascot one of these days... it technically counts as a prehistoric animal toy!

You get used to writing with #hashtags

My art in 2023 (6/12)
June: Anomalocaris, Dragon of the Cambrian. The realisation that most Cambrian creatures were tiny gave me the idea of a whole bunch of them hiding from a 40 cm long Anomalocaris while in positions reminiscent of a D&D party facing off against a dragon.
